DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-09084-6
Abstract: Studying and protecting each and every living species on Earth is a major challenge of the 21st century. Yet, most species remain unknown or unstudied, while others attract most of the public, scientific and government… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2103400119
Abstract: Significance Only an estimated 1 to 10% of Earth’s species have been formally described. This discrepancy between the number of species with a formal taxonomic description and actual number of species (i.e., the Linnean shortfall)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/biosci/biab072
Abstract: Presence-only biodiversity data are increasingly relied on in biodiversity, ecology, and conservation research, driven by growing digital infrastructures that support open data sharing and reuse. Recent reviews of open biodiversity data have clearly documented the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/sysbio/syy044
Abstract: Abstract. Primary biodiversity data represent the fundamental elements of any study in systematics and evolution. They are, however, no longer gathered as they used to be and the mass‐production of observation‐based (OB) occurrences is overthrowing… read more here.

Rapid, recurring, structured survey versus bioblitz for generating biodiversity data and analysis with a multispecies abundance model

DOI: 10.1111/cobi.13996
Abstract: A bioblitz inexpensively and quickly generates biodiversity data, but bioblitzes are often conducted with haphazard, unreplicated sampling. Results tend to be taxonomically, geographically, or temporally biased, lack metadata, and consist of lists of observed taxa… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0242923
Abstract: Many conservation managers, policy makers, businesses and local communities cannot access the biodiversity data they need for informed decision-making on natural resource management. A handful of databases are used to monitor indicators against global biodiversity… read more here.

DOI: 10.3897/bdj.5.e12581
Abstract: Taxonomy and nomenclature data are critical for any project that synthesizes biodiversity data, as most biodiversity data sets use taxonomic names to identify taxa. Open Tree of Life is one such project, synthesizing sets of… read more here.

DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.938.49349
Abstract: Abstract Benthic environmental impact assessments and monitoring programs accompanying offshore hydrocarbon industry activities result in large collections of benthic organisms. Such collections offer great potential for systematics, biodiversity and biogeography research, but these opportunities are… read more here.
